Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following elements has the electron configuration [Ne]3s²3p⁵? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that the electron configuration shows how electrons are arranged in an atom.
  • Step 2: Recognize that [Ne] represents the electron configuration of Neon, which has 10 electrons.
  • Step 3: The notation 3s² means there are 2 electrons in the 3s subshell.
  • Step 4: The notation 3p⁵ means there are 5 electrons in the 3p subshell.
  • Step 5: Add the electrons: 10 (from Neon) + 2 (from 3s²) + 5 (from 3p⁵) = 17 electrons.
  • Step 6: Identify the element with 17 electrons, which is Chlorine (Cl).
